Hi all,
This Friday Mar. 3rd, I'm launching
PROOF
a new online journal for authentic black people--or those who wish to become authentic.
The debut edition will explain EXACTLY...what is "authentically" black.
The legendary Nigerian Scholar Chinweizu just gave a lecture in LAGOS about the future of the black people--it caused quite a stir--is allowing me to reprint the entire lecture for my debut edition.
For those who don't realize it, Chinweizu is like the Cornel West of Western African. A
very controversial figure whose only peers are his good friend Chinua Achebe...and his faux enemy, Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka.
Chinweizu wrote the classic book "The West and the Rest of Us", which was edited by Toni Morrison.
Although I consider Chinweizu to be decadently sexist and outrageously homophobic....I do agree with the Lagos newspaper that claimed: "if we could set Chinweizu as King and Kola Boof as Queen, therein would lie the balance of a perfect mother and father for the African people."
There will be regular articles by myself, poetry, depictions via pictures of black love, love for black children, public commentary....
...and the purpose of "PROOF" is to provide clarity and messages of self-esteem and set a "new revolution" for authentic blacks...or those who wish to become authentic.
Eventually...this will become a MAGAZINE, very similar to JET...but much more substantial in content and featuring beautiful blackentric with natural African hair on the covers.

I look forward to reading your journal, and your starting a magazine is a great idea. You have a lot of wonderful information and wisdom that just might educate these white worshiping blacks out here to stop the idolatry. It's definitely needed. |

Looking forward to this, Kola. Timely, too--I just started another thread on the topic of Black image producers. |

I love the tribute we're doing to Octavia Butler.

You can't log on until the articles are completed and posted.
I'm doing this entire project BY MYSELF....with nobody's help, so it takes time.
But I do have some good writers contributing stories and pieces.
